MESSAGE from Nancy Goroff for Congress: “As a scientist, I believe in facts”

July 11, 2019 • by DailyClout

I’m excited to officially announce that I’m running for Congress in New York’s 1st District. As an educator, scientist, and mother who’s built my life in Suffolk County, I can’t stay on the sidelines when D.C. politicians like our current representative, Lee Zeldin, push an agenda that hurts the place I love and the people I care about.

Suffolk deserves a leader who will fight for affordable healthcare, put people above special interests, and get serious about addressing climate change.

I look forward to making my case to the voters and telling my story.

For the past twenty-two years, I have taught at Stony Brook University, where we’ve innovated and inspired the next generation. I worked to create new organic semiconductors that can make solar energy more affordable and attainable. I collaborated with partners to develop entrepreneurship programs that help students build and redefine technological boundaries.

As a scientist, I believe in facts. And it’s a fact that Washington’s inaction is hurting Suffolk families. I’m running for Congress to use my experience as a scientist to protect Suffolk’s waterways, upgrade our clean water infrastructure, and pass legislation to combat climate change.

My approach is simple, but it’s something that’s often missing in Washington right now: trust the facts, find solutions, and work with anyone who has a good idea. That’s what I’ve done my entire life, and it’s what I’ll do in Congress.

With your help, I’ll make sure that everyone in Suffolk has access to healthcare and a fair shot to succeed in a changing economy. I’ll protect our environment. I’ll work to pass strong, common-sense gun safety legislation to end the gun violence epidemic. And I promise to fight tooth and nail to protect a woman’s right to choose.

I’ll be reaching out in the coming days and weeks to ask for your advice and support as I build this campaign. This will be a grassroots-powered campaign where I’ll be asking my friends, family, and folks I know in the community to join our team.
